Xavier Hutchinson Fantasy Stats

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson was a non-factor during Thursday's Week 12 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The 25-year-old was not targeted at all in the passing game. Hutchinson rushed the ball once for nine yards in the win. This is now the second time in the last three games that Hutchinson has been held without a catch. There is certainly some potential here, but Hutchinson clearly isn't part of the weekly gameplan right now. He's someone worth stashing in dynasty leagues due to his potential, but isn't someone that needs to be rostered in redraft leagues.

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson didn't draw a single target in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was the first game this season where Hutchinson was held without a catch despite running the third-most routes on the team. His last catchless game came in Week 12 of last season, where he played only eight offensive snaps. The 25-year-old has still been a reliable player overall for the Texans this season, recording 21 receptions for 222 yards and three touchdowns on 29 targets while also serving as an excellent blocker. Hutchinson had his lowest snap share of the season in Week 10 at 52.2% and may continue to see less work with rookie Jayden Higgins emerging over the last few weeks. Hutchinson is a useful player for the Texans, but can be left on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson has found the end zone three times in his last three games and is coming off a season-high five catches for 69 yards and a touchdown in last week's win over the 49ers. However, with Christian Kirk (hamstring) and Nico Collins (concussion) returning from their injuries, the Texans suddenly have a lot of receivers to rotate through. Hutchinson was rotating with rookie Jayden Higgins as the perimeter receiver across from Collins prior to all the injuries, and if he returns to that reduced role, he'll have a hard time putting up a big game against the Broncos, who have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Hutchinson is the No. 74 WR in RotoBaller's rankings this week, so in most formats, there are better flex plays available.

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson led the team in receiving with 69 yards and his third touchdown of the season on a season-high six targets in the Week 8 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. It was a career-best day for the 25-year-old pass-catcher, but will it continue? Hutchinson's career day came with both Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) out due to injuries. Going into Week 8, the former sixth-round pick had only 13 catches for 123 yards and two touchdowns on 18 targets in six games. Whether Hutchinson continues to see elevated volume in Houston's passing attack will depend entirely on whether Collins and Kirk can return this weekend to face the visiting Denver Broncos. Collins and Kirk both practiced on Wednesday, so they could be on track to return. Despite Hutchinson's career day last weekend, he's still only rostered in 1% of Yahoo fantasy leagues.

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson caught five of his six targets for a team-high 69 yards and a touchdown in the 26-15 win over the visiting San Francisco 49ers in Week 8 on Sunday, with both Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) sidelined by injuries. Hutchinson was tied for second on the team in targets and also tied for the team lead with his five receptions in a Houston offense that has suddenly become pass-happy in recent weeks. The 25-year-old's touchdown catch was a 30-yard connection with quarterback C.J. Stroud. Although Hutchinson is worth a look as a short-term WR replacement after his strong Week 8 performance, his role is likely to shrink again once one of Collins or Kirk returns, and the Texans have a shy-away matchup next week at home against the Denver Broncos. If you're going to pluck Hutchinson off the waiver wire this week, we wouldn't recommend spending much on him.

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson caught five of his six targets for 69 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 8 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Hutchinson took advantage of a rare opportunity to climb the depth chart with both Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) ruled out. The 25-year-old ultimately led the team in receiving yards and tied for the team lead in receptions. If Collins and Kirk are unable to return for Week 9 against Denver, Hutchinson could have low-end WR3/flex appeal once again, but he'd still have to continue competing with Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel for volume.

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson is expected to handle a significant workload against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8 after Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) were both ruled out. Hutchinson played a season-high 78 percent of the snaps last weekend, so we know he's capable of getting on the field at a high rate. He only caught one pass in that game, but in Week 5 against Baltimore, he had three catches for 18 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The 25-year-old may still lose some opportunities to Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, but if there's ever an opportunity for Hutchinson to break out, it's this Sunday with Collins and Kirk sidelined. Hutchinson has low-end WR3/flex appeal in deeper leagues.

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson has huge potential in Week 8 since the Texans won't have Nico Collins (concussion) or Christian Kirk (hamstring) this week against the 49ers. Hutchinson has been the team's No. 2 receiver for most of the season and played a season-high 78% of snaps last week against the Seahawks. He only managed one catch on four targets, though, finishing with 13 receiving yards. The third-year receiver from Iowa State snagged a pair of touchdowns in Week 5 just before the bye week, and he had multiple catches in every game this season until Monday's down game. While he hasn't shown a lot of big-play ability, he does have a solid rapport with C.J. Stroud and should be a top option near the goal line. He has a high ceiling in his expanded role, but he's unproven and in a tough matchup, so he's only the WR58 in RotoBaller's Week 8 rankings.

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson hadn't scored a touchdown in his first two seasons, but he found the end zone twice in Week 5's win over the Ravens. The Iowa State alum will look to build on that career day when he returns from his bye week to face the Seahawks on Monday night. Hutchinson still only had three targets in the game, but he hauled in all three for 18 yards and his first two NFL touchdowns. He has been playing the second-most snaps at receiver all season, behind only Nico Collins, but he hasn't drawn many targets. In five games, he has only 12 catches on 14 targets for 110 yards. He could get more work this week with Christian Kirk ruled out, but he is still a longshot flex play in most formats.

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson continues to be the most involved receiver on the outside across the field from Nico Collins, with Christian Kirk playing in the slot. He hasn't had much production in the Texans' ineffective passing game, but he's getting enough work to be worth monitoring coming into this week's matchup with the Ravens, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Hutchinson played 68% of the team's snaps in Week 4, ahead of both rookie Jayden Higgins (44%) and rookie Jaylin Noel (24%). Hutchinson also had three targets, converting two into catches for 17 yards, while Higgins and Noel only had one target each. Higgins made the most of his catch with a touchdown, but it still looks like Hutchinson is ahead of him on the depth chart. Even with his bigger role and good matchup, Hutchinson is only the WR74 in the RotoBaller rankings, so he is best left on the bench or waiver wires until something changes.
